GOING HOME WHEN YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN
An albatross
keeps tailing you
as you struggle
to sail against
the wind without
your navigating
first mate.
You’re now lost
at sea for good,
and can only drift
around and around
like a maelstrom
with a vortex going
down in to the sea.
Not traveling anywhere—
you’re already there.
Better get used to it.
Your fate is now signed,
sealed and delivered.
This is it.
